If we want to embed inclusive music practices fully into music education and therefore throughout Hubs, we need to find ways to discuss quality. This blog post – an interview with Phil Mullen, community musician, community music trainer, and member of the Musical Inclusion Evaluation and Networking team – is the start of our two big debates for the remainder of the Musical Inclusion programme.

Please help us by completing this survey by Monday 1 Dec 2014, and please share it with anyone else you work with on your Musical Inclusion programme.
